Japan is Twitters second biggest market.

  For consumers maybe? But for official government dissemination of information? This is the topic of discussion. Try doing anything remotely "official" in Japan without fax or a paper process with half a dozen ink stamps. It can't be done.

    In the real world, localities are routinely using Line or Twitter to send information to inhabitants. This is maybe on top of some paper fliers or announcements on loudspeakers. I don't know what this looks like in other countries, but we're talking about telling people about something, not updating your registered address.

    Fax usage in Japan is often exaggerated. Paper and stamp process is the real.

      Lots of American businesses still use fax, especially law offices and real estate offices.

    A lot of the stamp stuff has been phased out during covid. I just went to the tax office the other week to change a business status thing, and while the form still had a spot for an inkan, they said it was no longer in use. And more and more stuff can be done by scanning your MyNumber card now as well. I haven't sent a fax in 10 years.
